Still don't see how you will play first person shooters, Action games, etc etc. None of this seems possible without having to buy extra attachments. How do you zoom? walk? turn around? all his stuff. The idea sounds cool. I did all this with the eyetoy on the PS2. And it was fun for a while. But it gets old. If they find a way to make it work with real high end games with real developers then they may have a good thing. Till then its a rip off of the eyetoy and just a gimmick.

Thing is, I don't want this to be for FPS games, action games, or the sort. I want it to have it's own kind of games. Ones designed specifically from scratch for Natal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken the eyetoy cannot detect depth like Natal, which can make a huge difference from a technical perspective. The important thing how devs will use it.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

oh no... a positive article... no doubt there wioll be some ,miserable sods along shortly to whine about something.

I am currently playing a game that would suit natal perfectly... Heavy Rain. They shoud aim for a Heavy Rain type game at launch and not just "fun" and "party" stuff.

Speculation on GAF is that Milo and Kate is going to be an adventure game.  A press member got to go to Lionhead Studios a little while back and saw concept art of Milo being sucked into some sort of portal.  So, it is probably going to have some fantastical elements in the game.

If I wanted a completely different experience to Natal then yah I may get the EyeToy. But then I'd rather have actual moving technology which is revolutionary. Eyetoy is `nothing like Natal.

All this text just to talk about the technology behind, which we already know, and to say that ricochet stills the same with less lag?

It wasn't a review at all.

We have to wait for E3.

Portal you say? Hmm...sounds intriguing.

My 360 uses a contoller to play games. I did that years ago with the controller on my 2600 and using less buttons. The current 360 controller then must be a gimmick and not doing anything that hasn't been done before.
Hell it does rumble and thats so last gen.

LOL. I concur. By that logic 3D gaming is nothing but virtualboy on an LCD.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business
